Platform Engineer
Platform Engineer at NewDay
As a Platform Engineer at NewDay, you’ll create the tooling, automation, and cloud platforms that make software delivery seamless across Azure and AWS. Unlike building customer-facing applications, your focus will be on crafting the developer experience, creating scalable platforms, simplifying deployments, and enabling hundreds of engineers to deliver software faster, safer, and more efficiently. If you’re a software engineer passionate about solving engineering challenges through automation, cloud technologies, or modern platform engineering, we’d love to hear from you.
How You’ll Contribute
- Build and evolve the internal developer platform, creating tools and services that help engineering teams develop, test, deploy, and operate applications with ease.
- Develop deployment tooling and automation using modern software engineering practices to simplify and accelerate software delivery across Azure and AWS.
- Identify opportunities to reduce friction, enhance self-service capabilities, and empower developers to move faster.
- Design and implement cloud-native solutions using containers, Infrastructure as Code, and CI/CD pipelines to improve platform scalability, resilience, and security.
- Collaborate with Platform Engineering, SRE (Site Reliability Engineering), and development teams to introduce new technologies, establish engineering standards, and continuously improve platform capabilities.
